BioWare Wants Your Input on Next Mass Effect

After a disappointing Dragon Age sequel followed up by a Star Wars MMO that's currently limping into the realm of free to play, an ending to Mass Effect 3 that nearly made the internet a'splode, and the departure of its iconic founders, former RPG golden boy BioWare is now perceived much differently by gamers. It's also doing business in a different way, reaching out to fans to help decide how it should proceed. It did it for Dragon Age 3, and now it's doing it again. BioWare wants to know what you think it should do for the next Mass Effect.

Here's what we know: the next Mass Effect will be very different. As BioWare Producer Fabrice Condominas said in an interview a few weeks back, Shepard is out, the trilogy is over, and the dev team wants to explore a different time and place in the massive Mass Effect universe for the next installment. But where should it take the sci-fi franchise? That's where you come in.

Personally, I'd like to be able to fully create my own character (sex, race, class, and all), choose my own space ship, and engage in space ship combat. As for the time, place, and storyline... I'll just leave that to BioWare. The devs dug themselves a bit of a hole with the Star Child, Reapers as cyclical destroyers of life bit, and the three choices players were given at the end of ME3. Not sure where they can go without the events of the ME3 ending hanging over everything.
